Willson Contreras will be the Cubs DH this afternoon, pressing Victor Caratini behind the plate for Kyle Hendricks.
I liked it a lot better when the Cubs won the first video game of the series and still had the entire weekend ahead of them. Heres your Labor Day lineup for the finale.

Chicago Cubs Lineup:
1. Ian Happ, CF2. Kris Bryant, 3B3. Anthony Rizzo, 1B4. Javy Baez, SS5. Kyle Schwarber, LF6. Willson Contreras, DH7. Victor Caratini, C8. Cameron Maybin, RF9. Jason Kipnis, 2B
After DHing the other day, Kris Bryant moves back to third base today. And with that, David Bote moves back to the bench. Meanwhile, Willson Contreras will be the Cubs DH this afternoon, pressing Victor Caratini behind the plate for Kyle Hendricks.
Jason Heyward, who was sent to the health center yesterday, is expectedly out today, with Cameron Maybin covering right field in his absence. Heyward has actually been among the Cubs best players this season and his lack will be felt.
Especially, hes enabled a fair bit of difficult contact through his first 3 starts, however has actually been saved by an unsustainably low BABIP. With shaky command through 3 and a patient, effective Cubs lineup, this ought to be a juicy matchup for Chicago, one they MUST take advantage of.
As usual, well have your complete Pre-Gamin post closer to game time (3:10 CT).
With unsteady command through 3 and a client, powerful Cubs lineup, this should be a juicy match for Chicago, one they MUST take advantage of.
